doesnt sound all that bad to me dude to be honest,i used to get 82 miles to around £20 with the same sort of mods as you and that was driving sensibly.my car was in tip top condition too.regular service etc etc.compression was healthy and no smoke. as said above iff you are concerned about it that much do a compression test and get your timing checked.as for comparing it to an n/a, there is no comparison beetween them they have different compression ratios one is turbo one is not.i would say that is quite normal. you could allways sell the car to me if you cant afford the fuel bill

fit for the bin by the looks of it mate.get your money back

i have an icv hear you can have buddy if you cover postage, try that and see if it makes a difference.

who ever owns that gt needs there head seeing too, poor car

you will be back before long they are good fun for a while then you start missing your old ep, it happens to us all :D

nobody voting?

Glad your happy with it dude even after the balls up with the mani gasket lol, if you need a hand with anything else just give me a shout. Cheers james

can you not just get a good second hand crank and bearings?i would whip the sump off to investigate further though before buying anything shame though as you have only just put it in

ok dude ill hit you up with a pm when i get back

spoken to gaz@a&gtuning today the 5e rods will more than likely be going to him to be put through there paces and run at around the 2 bar mark and the 4e set are being sent for tensile testing until breaking to see hoe strong they are.

only one way to test them really....in an engine and see what they are capble of.might send them for independant testing ie sonic tested etc etc will be looking into that in more detail over the next few weeks.

i should have some 4e and 5e rods as samples in around 4 weeks to put through testing.

what sort of figure are you hoping for or is it a secret?

£2 sent for you dude

im not going but could send you a quid if it will help, i would send you more but im broke at the minute lol

Duly noted

american actually.

just to bump this one up.these rods are made by the same manufactures as pro comp here these guys build some crazy machines. i could more than likely do these rods on a group buy for around £210 delivered.let me know what you think? cheers james

you dont have much luck do you?hope you get it sorted.who rebuilt the gear box for you????

wow

my theory was 50/50 72/75 no minors or majors on my practical

suzuki baleno £550 have a gander at that dude

cheap as chips

had an evo 2 around 6 months ago with a fair few mods and to be fair was not bad on fuel unless you planted it all the time, so i would not say deluded, you can pick up a near finished bike powered mini for around 6k which is why i asked how much he had to spend.as i said in my previous post cheap to run nippy jap cars dont really exist, but then that all depends on how you define nippy.
